Customising board for learner
Hi
My little one has shown a keen interest in windsurfing, so we picked up a kids rig and he has been on my 106l with success going downwind, I just wished he would stop before getting to the kiters, the walk back is getting longer. Having found out that boards for kids are not easy to come by, he really needs a board with a centre board to get upwind.
Anyway I have this old Santosha wave board and thought just maybe I can have a fin box added and use on old race fin as the centreboard. Took it out the other day and he managed to get going on it, but was a bit wobbly on it, it's only 54cm wide where the 106l is 65cm wide.
Would it be worth the effort of putting in the fin box or looking for a wider board and doing the same thing. I guess the mast track would create a weak spot in the board. Not sure of the ins and out of where to place the centre board.
By the way I also had a go on the Santosha and she went surprisingly fast.
Alternatively if anyone has any old board with a dagger board let us know.
Cheers
